Weighted Tricep Dips Overview

The weighted tricep dip is a variation of the tricep dip and an exercise used to build the muscles of the triceps, shoulders, and chest.

this exercise if a wonderful strength and mass builder for me. I generally will peak out with 20-25 lbs. weights. You must careful with how much weight you use since it can leave your elbows and shoulders sore for several days.

Be careful when you do this exercise. If you feel it stretch too much in your chest, quit the exercise and do something else. Today on my last set of weighted dips, I suddenly felt a *pop* in the middle of my chest and it hurt, and I guess I pulled a muscle. So be very careful, especially when you're just starting out with this exercise!
